Dentsply International has consolidated its dental implant-related businesses (Dentsply Friadent and Astra Tech Dental) into a single entity. The move follows its August 2011 acquisition of Astra Tech.
The newly created Dentsply Implants will actively begin marketing and selling products in North America this month, according to the company.
Dentsply Implants offers a portfolio of patient-specific implant products with an extensive line of dental implants, bone regenerative products, digital technologies, and professional development tools. The portfolio includes the Ankylosr, XiVe, and Astra Tech implant systems, Atlantis patient-specific CAD/CAM abutments, and 3D virtual surgical planning and surgical guides.
